Notes: Artist & Practice

A multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, installation, performance, and collage. Reflecting on themes of cultural identity, spiritual liminality, and utopian possibility, with a focus on the "soul in limbo" - a metaphor for states of transition, loss, and regeneration. Tee explores the fragility and interconnectedness of life, inviting reflection on cross-cultural narratives and the search for rootedness.

Context

Through thought forms, Tee manifests the notion that ideas and emotions are almost material, exploring the tension between internal consciousness and external form. The sculptural object becomes a threshold, inviting viewers to sense the “form” of thought itself. Belongs to her pivotal 'Heart Ferment' series.

Notes

Exhibitions at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2020, 2012) and Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (2017), as well as appearances in several biennials. In 2020, she was awarded the Amsterdam Prize for the Arts.
